Air pruning is a technique used to promote the development of a healthy root system in container-grown plants. When roots reach the edge of a breathable container, such as a fabric pot, they are exposed to air, causing the root tips to dry out or "prune" themselves. This process encourages the plant to produce more lateral roots rather than becoming root-bound, resulting in a denser and more efficient root system that enhances the plant�s ability to absorb water and nutrients.
